Possible clues may lie inside.

Ali Sonoma (St. Louis, MO), who took a $30,000 bribe to leave the game, and Bobby O’Donnell (Philadelphia, PA), who was one of the most committed players but didn’t last after taking the quiz, became the third and fourth players to leave “The Mole” in a rare double “Execution” during last night’s episode. The fourth episode airs MONDAY, JUNE 23 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Jon Kelley (”Extra,” “The National Sports Report,” “Baseball Today”) is host.

In the new hour, “Episode 504,” the eight remaining players travel to the majestic Andes, where they face a treacherous trek up a mountain carrying bricks of gold. And a surprising twist pushes one of them to the brink.

The 8 players remaining on “The Mole” are:
Alex (Haverford, PA)
Clay (Philadelphia, PA)
Craig (San Diego, CA)
Kristen (Santa Monica, CA)
Mark (Mukwonago, WI)
Nicole (Chicago, IL)
Paul (Yonkers, NY)
Victoria (Bishop, TX)

ALI SONOMA — Ali is a model, who has worked as a ring girl for the UFC. She describes herself as “stunning” and believes her beauty helps her get her way, but also causes people to instantly dismiss her, which she thought would benefit her in the game. Ali used to be a wild, party girl. She celebrated her 21st birthday with Motley Crue in Las Vegas. But now she treats her body as a temple. She has strong religious beliefs and has settled down with her boyfriend, a UFC fighter. She claims to have a 75% accuracy rate with shotguns and is experienced in fishing. She considers herself ambitious and caring, but also forgetful and prone to road rage. Ali planned on using her beauty and brains to outsmart the other players.

BOBBY O’DONNELL — Bobby loves games, competing and winning, though you may not know it from his low key exterior. He is a hardcore fan of “The Mole” and used to host Mole watching parties in his basement. His weakness was his physique. He’s a little frail and not very athletic. But he knows the game well and thought had a solid strategy to form coalitions with less intelligent players whom he could lead astray. Being gay, he felt that his “gaydar” — the ability to recognize other gay people — would help him read people in the game.

“The Mole” is produced by Stone & Company Entertainment. In the final dramatic episode, the “Mole” will be revealed and one of two final players can win up to $500,000.

One of the most compelling reads a Mole fan could ever engage in, Reflections of the Mole walks you step-by-step through not only Bill McDaniel’s time on The Mole II, but his life experiences which lead him to be so successful. Reading the book is like going back in time as he vividly reenacts each activity, both on and off camera, with an insider’s view any Mole fan will appreciate. I honestly now feel as if I had been on the show myself.

That being said, if you are watching the latest Mole season (call it 5, call it 2008, it pales in comparison to II) this is the handbook that you need to figure out who The Mole is! You learn about what little producer interaction he had, what few instructions he received, and his varying plans on making himself both seem molish and innocent. Using this knowledge I’m pretty sure I know who The Mole is this season - and you can too.

(I’d also like to mention I am getting NO commission from linking to his book, I just happened to finish it today and felt it was my duty to all Mole fans to make sure they know about the book and read it! I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a long, long time. Plus Bill is a really cool guy

“Liz Cain put all her eggs in one basket in attempting to guess The Mole’s fifth-season saboteur, and viewers saw where that got her.

The retired 60-year-old from Whitefish, MT became the second player executed from The Mole’s fifth season during Monday night’s broadcast of the reality competition series on ABC.

On Tuesday, Liz talked to Reality TV World about her thoughts on several of the players still remaining in the competition; why she wasn’t surprised to see Nicole threaten to “kill” Paul; how she was serendipitously cast for the show; and why her love of fart jokes doesn’t mean she has a dirty mouth.”

Liz has more energy than people half her age. She lives life to the fullest and does not let age stand in her way and doesn’t hesitate to shock people with her raunchy sense of humor. Liz is a widow. When her husband passed away, she decided to adopt two children and raise them on her own. She has an 18-year-old daughter, a senior in high school, and a 20-year-old son in the army who recently gave her a grandchild. Her son may be deployed to Iraq at any time. She suffers a bit from an empty nest, so she was eager to have this adventure bring some excitement into her life.

“The Mole,” based on the hit Belgian format, is produced by Stone & Company Entertainment and follows a group of players as they try to figure out who among them is The Mole, a saboteur trying to keep them from winning money. Players must decide who they think The Mole is and then learn as much about him or her as they can because, at the end of each one-hour episode, the player who knows the least about The Mole is immediately “Executed” from the game. In the final dramatic episode, The Mole is revealed and one of two final players can win up to $500,000.
